The discussion revolves around the suitability of Feynman's lectures on physics for someone with a high school level understanding of physics, particularly in the context of studying aircraft design. Participants explore the foundational knowledge required for deeper insights into physics and whether Feynman's lectures can serve as a starting point for learning.
Participants do not reach a consensus. Some believe that foundational mathematics is essential before engaging with Feynman's lectures, while others feel that it is possible to learn from the lectures directly.
Limitations include the assumption that prior knowledge of calculus is necessary, which may depend on individual learning styles and preferences. The discussion does not resolve the effectiveness of Feynman's lectures for beginners.

Ty for suggestion but Can't I learn this topics on feynman?MidgetDwarf said:You will need vector calculus to learn this. Start by learning calculus, then practice mechanics. You need to build the foundation first.
That's not how it works. First study calculus, then start doing college-level physics. Or at least, study it at the same time. If you want to have deep insights in physics you'll need mathematics.kdrdgn07 said:Ty for suggestion but Can't I learn this topics on feynman?
Bro, essentially you are right. I mean I will exactly do what you said. But I thought that I can do it with one book. I can do this with feynman. I'm a hardworker and I am trusting myself. I can do it.NathanaelNolk said:That's not how it works. First study calculus, then start doing college-level physics. Or at least, study it at the same time.
